Damage based on Damage Dealt

[Kam]

I'm working on a trigger that deals extra damage based on initial damage dealt. So if unit is dealt 10 damage when they have a specific buff then they are dealt an extra 2 damage (20%). The issue I'm having is finding a way to store the initial damage as an integer so I can do the damage calculation.

• Critical Sector
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) has buff Critical Sector ) Equal to True
    • ((Attacking unit) is A ranged attacker) Equal to True
  • Actions

Eeeh... Haven't used GUI in years; I don't know how to explain/do it without confusing you with Jass.

With what you're trying to do, the "Is Attacked" event will not work; you will need the specific unit event called "Unit takes damage". Events like this either need a preplaced unit or another event that will make the trigger for the unit after they are put on the map.

After that, you'll be able to find which unit took the damage, which unit dealt the damage, and the amount of damage the unit took.

I thought of that but this is a melee map so pre-placing is not an option.

What I meant by that was that you need to trigger this part yourself. Any unit gets buff, create damage event for unit that got the buff.

You could use Weep's Damage Detection system or Bribe's rather than triggering it all by yourself.

Take care of proper conditions in case you can cause fatal error (infinite damage loop).
